I would not want it any other way. My mom is prone to over-reacting, and I think she would have driven me insane. Plus, being a mother myself, I think it would be very, very difficult to see your child in so much pain, even though you know that the pain is for a good cause. I think your midwife will Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07571206637500986506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2749450593170537314.post-7442099139131825232007-05-29T18:05:00.000-07:002007-05-29T18:05:00.000-07:00Doulas rock!

Hire a doula who is trained in the best ways to support a mom in labor. If DH needs a break you'll still have someone there just for you.<BR/><BR/>Very cool that he got to feel the thump finally. So funny that they all seem to get quiet when Daddy puts their hand on the belly.Nickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685076574146821569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2749450593170537314.post-23957044345918583362007-05-26T17:18:00.000-07:002007-05-26T17:18:00.000-07:00I dont think that I want anyone but hubby in the r...I dont think that I want anyone but hubby in the room with me. I love my mother but she is the biggest drama queen that I have ever met (or came out of). My husband is the only one that I can imagine who will not make me nervous. :)<BR/>Good luck- and it must be great to feel that beautiful little girl kicking inside of you- i cant wait till I feel it!Gemini Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10814946729788376692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2749450593170537314.post-15014822837381284532007-05-26T11:04:00.000-07:002007-05-26T11:04:00.000-07:00yeah, I'm struggling with the same question. I kno...yeah, I'm struggling with the same question. I know my mom wants to be here - she's mentioned a few times that she will jump on a plane as soon as she hears I'm in labor. But we've never really talked about it. J and I have talked about it - and both agree that we don't want other people there. But I don't really know how to bring this up with my mom. <BR/><BR/>If I end up with a c-section I Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168704988026789910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2749450593170537314.post-46149945393608109892007-05-26T07:06:00.000-07:002007-05-26T07:06:00.000-07:00I've been feeling little thumps for the last week ...I've been feeling little thumps for the last week or so, and it is so wonderful. At first it creeped me out, but now I look for it all day.<BR/><BR/>As for the laboring, I feel some of the same concerns that you do. I know that my mother will expect to be there, but I'm afraid she will just make me anxious, not because we aren't close (we are), but because I'm afraid she'll be too clingy and Furrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617566957749784387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2749450593170537314.post-54002389757599456352007-05-26T07:04:00.000-07:002007-05-26T07:04:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07624191991031047807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2749450593170537314.post-79939772777825603132007-05-25T16:37:00.000-07:002007-05-25T16:37:00.000-07:00I think that if you want other supportive people a...I think that if you want other supportive people around you it is THE MOST AMAZING experience to share with another human being.<BR/><BR/>If you want it to stay intimate with you and G....then don't worry...there will be plenty of support from the staff that G can just stand back and enjoy the ride.<BR/><BR/>Remember.....if they come in, they are going to see your vajayjay....and all sorts of K J and the kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11768311213861195548noreply@blogger.com
